senator john mccain is typical of that resistance. listen up. >> because every economist that i respect says that if you raise tax rates at this time, in fact the president even said that a couple of years ago then it harms the economy. we are trying to help the economy. unless i can be convinced that raising tax rates will be beneficial then i believe there are reasons and grounds for my position. >> a handful of republicans have signaled a willingness to break their bridge to raise revenues. they include a senator from georgia. as you've said senator lindsey graham from south carolina, representative peter king of new york. king spoke out on "meet the press" yesterday about his change of heart. >> if i were in congress in 1941 i would have signed the declaration of war against japan, i'm not going to attack japan today. the world is changed and the economic situation is different. ronald reagan and tip o'neal realized that in the 1980s. i think everything should be on the table. i'm "posed to tax increases. the speaker, the majority

well we were hearing from america that the mortal hardcore neo cons like john mccain saying that the u.s. should cut its aid to egypt unless morsi backs down. if you like i think the u.s. is sort of divided on one hand. you know there are members of the u.s. really who would prefer the mubarak forces back but the other hand they're saying morsi has got too much from their point of view anyway and i think that you know morsi has got a difficult job because of course these countries have to get in on us eight and the u.s. is not a guarantee is going to change the course and you know i think that's what he's got to do if the underlying problems are to be addressed so i think some kind of moving away from the u.s. has to happen do you think that the people are saying we brought you into power but you're not listening to us now so we might actually get you out of power if we wanted to that's the message and i think more she's made a big mistake he you know he may have thought that basically people were and he mubarak and barak's gone and therefore have a bit of leeway but no the underlyin

senator mccain is softening his attacks on u.n. ambassador susan rice after vowing to block her potential nomination as secretary of state. republicans claim ambassador rice deliberately misled the country in the aftermath of the september 11th attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi. but rice says that she's not to blame, arguing she relied on the talking points from the intelligence community. although mccain had threatened a senate filibuster earlier this month, he's now open to meeting directly with miss rice. >> is there anything that ambassador rice can do to change your mind about it? >> sure. she can -- i give everyone the benefit of explaining their position and the actions that they took. and i'll be glad to have the opportunity to discuss these issues with her. >> she could conceivably get your vote for secretary of state? >> i think she deserves the ability and the opportunity to explain herself and her position. >> the white house says no decisions have been made as far as cabinet selections for the president's second

look at the laundry list john mccain gave you. immigration reform and abortion. yeah, you got that black vote on lock, don't you. and look, because they want to continue tone gauge in voter suppression. now let me just put that on the table. the reason african-american people are not seen as a likely vote rich demography is because the republicans are engaged in the direct renuns yags of historic lentiling from the civil rights community that protects the value of that black vote. not only black vote but people in southern regions and older people and the like. so there's tremendous tension still afoot here and this is the big elephant in the room. obama is still a black guy and there is still a lot of resentment. i can't tell you the hate mail i get just from making comments that look like they might think that obama is a reasonable person and the hostility is so deep that i'm afraid that it's also reflected in certain elements of the political class as well. >> but one thing we don't know yet, i think, is what the republican strategy is. because last time after

whether it is lindsey graham, peter king, john mccain, on and on, similar comment over the weekend. if another republican is watching that, what would you say to them if they areethinking about breaking this pledge? >> let's distinguish with what boehner have said. i certainly agree, if the economy grew at 4% instead of 2% for the next decade, the federal government would net an additional $5 trillion. you could pay all of obama's death down. connell: that is not what he is talking about. >> okay. i am sorry. what he said is what i said. what obama claims he said is a separate matter. boehner was very clear. obama said, oh, you have agreed to tax increases. the talks collapsed because obama misstated. connell: what you say to republicans who are thinking about breaking the pledge? >> look, most republicans have signed the pledge. even the ones who have not have made it very clear even when they ran for office, higher taxes have hurt the economy. they have spent too much money. the entitlements are looking to break the economy. we need to spend less. raising taxes to get the politici
